Mirabilis

Mirabilis is a 43ft steel Finot sloop owned by Mike and Danica Stent. We have been living aboard since 2010 and were recently joined by a new crew member, Arlo. We have had one cruising season in Polynesia and are now making the most of maternity leave cruising in Melanesia for the 2019 season. Home base is Wellington, NZ. Mirabilis is named after the nudibranch Jason mirabilis. Nudibranchs are rad.

We are back on the grid for better or worse. We had a dream run on our crossing (Arlo's first open ocean passage) from Vanuatu to New Caledonia sailing the whole way with no pesky engine and smooth

Back in Vila after a rather boisterous overnight sail from Malekula. The forecast 18kt NE revealed itself to in fact be a 25kt E for a good while there. Strong wind and very rough sea the entire way
